Homemade Tofu Burgers

1. 1

   Cut tofu into thin slices and arrange between two layers of dishtowel.

2. 2

   Let stand for 15 minutes, then put firm pieces in the middle of a dry dishtowel, gather the corners, twist to form a sack, and squeeze tofu firmly to drain off as much moisture as possible.

3. 3

   In a shallow bowl, combine tofu with carrot, leeks, and sesame seeds.

4. 4

   Knead, as if kneading bread, for about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   When dough is smooth and holds together well, moisten palms with oil and shape dough into patties, 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

6. 6

   Pour oil into a wok (to a depth of 1 1/2 inches) or skillet (to a depth of 1/4 to 12 inch).

7. 7

   Heat oil to 375 degrees F.

8. 8

   Fry burgers until crisp and nicely browned, about 4minutes on one side, 3 minutes on the other.

9. 9

   Drain and serve hot.
